#Maps Card devices shown not only first character

I have a lot of GPS devices that I want to show in de Maps Card of HA. This works fine but I have 2 questions:

  • It only shows the first character of the devices. Problem is; they all begin with the letter B (and then B1, B30, B42, ...). Is it possible to have the first 3 charcaters shown in the label?
  • By default it groups the devices on the card. Is it possible to default turn off grouping so it will just show all devices, even though theyre stacked together close?

There is a new option to disable clustering but it won't be available until the June release.

You don't have to make pictures of text. You can just set the name for each entity in the map card.

But the 'name' var is allready filled with the correct thing I want? What will change?

#

That it will take the manual input and show it fulltext?

If you add name to the entity in the map card it will show <name> on the circle instead of B

I dont think this will work for me, because i have set 'show_all: true' in the yaml of the map card. I dont add the entities maunal, because theyre pretty dynamic

Ok. FYI the text in the circle comes from the first letter of each word in the entity name.

#

So if your name had multiple words in it it would automatically show B<something>

#

Are all your entities named one-word names?

Ahhh that is good to know, so if i just give it the name 'B 13' witha space in between, it will show B13?

I guess B1 🤔

rancid raft

haha hmm, B 1 3 it is
